Stillborn

He died before he had a chance to live

His mother's tears fell on his little face.
As they put him in her arms they sympathized
with this girl who'd never see her baby's eyes.

So many plans to cherish him and watch as he grew,
but now forced to change her plans and point of view...
Now she grieves her child, nothing comforts
the empty arms, the agony inside.

She'd gladly trade places, she'd give anything
to bring back the child who died.
Her heart ached like never before
as his still body was laid in the ground

and she wept bitter tears for her son.
His life was over before it begun.
